Sweet Peas with Pancetta
and Pine Nuts
SWEET, SWEETWhether fresh, canned or frozen, sweet peas always make a great side dish. Add a little pancetta and toasted pine nuts and you have a wonderful dish to serve with a variety of different meats, poultry or sea foods. Pancetta is an Italian form of bacon. If you can’t find pancetta then regular bacon can be substituted. You can even add a little broth and cream to the peas and mix them with some pasta to create a whole other meal. Either way, peas are a delicious nutritious vegetable that your sure to enjoy.
